Objective: We aimed to obtain pre-adolescent/adolescent and parent input on a proposed transdisciplinary model for routine type 1 diabetes (T1D) healthcare in which an advanced practice nurse, dietitian, and psychologist with expertise in T1D and extensive cross-discipline training co-deliver care during quarterly T1D care visits using a family-focused approach.

Methods: Participants were 17 parent-youth dyads plus one additional adolescent who responded to open-ended questions about the structure and format of the proposed transdisciplinary care model via an online, private social network. A six-member coding team developed and revised a codebook, coded question responses through iterative cycles of inductive coding, and distilled major recurring themes to obtain perspectives on the transdisciplinary care model and feedback on improving the model.

Results: We identified nine themes regarding reactions to our proposed transdisciplinary care model, which fell into three broad categories: 1) General Perceptions of Transdisciplinary Care (e.g., Transdisciplinary Care may facilitate improved communication and collaboration among providers and result in more holistic care); 2) Perceptions about Transdisciplinary Care Providers (e.g., Perspectives on the inclusion of dietitians and psychologists as members of the transdisciplinary care team were mixed); and 3) Suggestions for Improving the Transdisciplinary Care Model (e.g., Ensure care is patient/family centered and holistic).

Conclusions: The present findings provided important feedback to modify our transdisciplinary care model and on parent and youth preferences for T1D healthcare delivery.
